[b]I think that if you have such an important job and you count on your nanny to be there at a moments notice, that you should be paying some kind of guaranteed hours and give her a few sick days each year. [/b]

Totally agree.

Let me get this right....

1 - OP does not give any paid sick days.
2 - OP expects her nanny to come at a "moment's notice" for her.
3 - OP gets pissed b/c her nanny only gave her a "moment's notice" that she couldn't come in, likely b/c she was really sick and was waiting to see if she could handle it b/c SHE GETS NO PAID SICK TIME.
4 - OP's job is "very" important.

Conclusion.

1 - OP is completely self-absorbed and expects her nanny to be at her beck and call, without giving her the same due respect or any benefits that are pretty standard in this industry.

(By the way, this is also why we think you are a bitch).[/quote][/b]

If I didn't get ick pay I'd wait to the last minute too, to see if I was well enough to go to work.  This is what happens when you're cheap, OP.  Here's the thing:  I get 10 sick days per year (note:  My employer isn't a shrew like you, OP) and in the 7 years I've worked for this family, I have taken one sick day.  ONE.  Oh and they also guarantee my hours and pay vacation.  Hence the loyalty and 7 years with the same family.

What makes you think if you fire this nanny you'll get someone better?   The economy isn't great right now but I can tell you that no one is going to want this job with no benefits, no sick pay, no vacation, no guaranteed hours...  And a beck and call MB who doesn't respect her nanny!

You get what you deserve, feel lucky this nanny even took your job, let me guess:  She's illegal????[/quote]
